Tanya Catolos, the pastry chef at the formal Washington Duke Inn in Durham, moonlights at the city’s farmer’s market, selling handmade “Pop’t-Arts” filled with Nutella or jam from a vintage Airstream trailer. “You can be very playful with food around here” she said. “People really get it now.” (She’ll be making local-rhubarb ones soon.)
The food at Neal’s Deli is resolutely everyday and American — like breakfast biscuits stuffed with egg and sausage — but the eggs are steamed tender with a touch of pepper and parsley, and the wide,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], crisp biscuits are mixed from high-fat local buttermilk and organic flour from a nearby mill that’s been held by the same family for nine generations. The sausage patty is from Cane Creek Farm in Alamance County, where Eliza MacLean, an owner of the farm and a former veterinarian, advises farmers across the state on the transition from tobacco to pork. Every bit of that care comes through in the flavor of the finished product, a stunning bargain at $3.25.
Mr. Neal prides himself on high-quality, low-brow food, like a house-made porchetta sandwich with spinach and pickled peppers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], served with a bag of Zapp’s potato chips from Louisiana. “I honestly do not know how to make a soufflé,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” said Mr. Neal, whose father, Bill Neal, was the founding chef of Crook’s Corner and La Residence in Chapel Hill and one of the most famous chefs in the South until his death in 1991.
Bill Neal, his son added hastily, certainly did know how to make a soufflé. “But soufflés are not what I want to cook,” he said.
Swedish Match AB plans to broaden U.S. availability of snus smokeless tobacco and increase marketing to target Wall Street workers and other smokers forced to leave the office to light up.
The company aims to double distribution of its General snus to about 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],200 U.S. stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], possibly by the end of the year, Richard Flaherty, president of Stockholm-based Swedish Match’s U.S. sales division,marlboro red cigarettes, said yesterday in a telephone interview. He wouldn’t disclose projected spending on marketing, which includes handing out samples in New York, Chicago, Washington, Denver and Dallas.
“We are going after bankers, Wall Streeters, people who work in offices and take the elevator down and stand out in the cold for cigarettes,” Flaherty, 51, said from Richmond,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Virginia, where Swedish Match’s U.S. division is based. “A perfect place for that is in New York, and the big banks.”
It strikes many as ironic that the increase in cigar consumption in South Africa is happening along with a drastic drop in cigarette smoking, as the government intensifies what’s already some of the world’s toughest anti-smoking legislation.
Smoking in public is illegal in South Africa, and higher taxes on tobacco products make cigarettes too expensive for many South Africans. Deterrents such as these have helped drive cigarette smoking in the country down to the lowest rates in modern times.
Yet, the National Council Against Smoking wants even stricter anti-smoking regulations and higher tobacco taxes. But it acknowledges that while almost 40 percent of South African adults smoked cigarettes in the mid-1990s – about 17 million people – now just over 20 percent are regular cigarette smokers – about seven million people.
While there are no statistics available as to how many South Africans currently smoke cigars, tobacconist David Masterson says increasing cigar sales are an obvious indication that more people in the country are smoking them.
